The Archers - 16/09/2010

Jamie overhears Kathy talking to Pat. He explodes, telling his mum it's no wonder Kenton left - she nags them both so much. She's been awful since Kenton didn't go to Sid's funeral, making him pay for it ever since. When Kathy protests that Kenton doesn't seem to care about them at all, Jamie tells her Kenton has been great. And now Jamie's lost him too. Kathy has made everyone as miserable as she is. He slams out of the house, leaving Pat to pick up the pieces. Off the back of the row with his mum, Jamie and his mates go and get drunk in the hide at Arkwright Lake. They try to include Daniel, but he leaves, to the scorn of the rest of the boys. Elizabeth thanks Nigel for changing his mind about the children's schooling. She knows he had his heart set on the twins going to Clavisborne. But Nigel's happy - it'll be nice to have them close by next year. Kenton goes to a wine tasting with Nigel, who tries to talk to him about Kathy, encouraging Kenton to keep trying. Kenton gets very drunk and is frivolous when a policeman turns up on the scene.
